Abstract

The aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of inhibiting the growth of various strains of Staphylococcus aureus by low-intensity laser light. As object of research used methicillin-sensitive and methicillinresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. For irradiation was used a semiconductor laser, which generates linearly polarized radiation of the red spectral region (λ - 660 nm). Power density was 100 mW/cm², irradiation time – 5, 10, 15 and 30 min, heat density respectively 30, 60, 90, and 180 J/cm². It was established that low-intensity laser radiation has an inhibitory effect on growth of colonies of both methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. But resistant strain is more sensitive to the action of red light, as the bacteriostatic effect is detected at the lower doses.
